and air conditioner in advance to set a comfortable temperature and humidity
for their arrival.
XIAOWEI is able to identify family members through the use of face and body
tracking technology, making the versatile robot a reliable AI housekeeper that
can also deliver effective all-around security. you can direct the robot to
visit every corner of the house to keep an eye on happenings and to help
deliver household items, remote monitoring and safety patrol.

built-in projector and other advanced technologies it's able to create a mobile
theater, entertainment center, and interactive play area at home to keep the
entire family amused.

3D camera, perform autonomous exploration and mapping, identify object
attributes, and compile semantic information through its 3D Semantic mapping.
For example, through this technology, the robot XIAOWEI knows which is the sofa
and where the sofa is, and then you tell him "go to the sofa", and XIAOWEI will
go to the sofa by himself using its navigation functions by responding to a
voice command.
"Looking to the future, the household robot brings multiple possibilities." Dr.
Tang Jian highlighted that household robots, just like smartphones and new
energy vehicles, are already changing people's lifestyles and will become a
basic must-have for families.
